Variety is reporting that Matthew Broderick, Virginia Madsen and Alan Alda have signed on to star in Diminished Capacity for director Terry Kinney and Plum Pictures.
The comedy will find Broderick in the lead role as a man who suffers memory loss after getting hit on the head. He then takes a trip with his Alzheimer’s-addled uncle (Alda) and his high school sweetheart (Madsen) to a memorabilia show as the group concocts a scheme to sell a rare baseball card.
The film is set to begin shooting this spring in New York and Chicago. Sherwood Kiraly is penning the screenplay based on his novel of the same name.
